Jefferson and Hamilton differed on the question of whether or not Congress could do what?

They disagreed on practically everything but their esteem for George Washington. Specifically, however, their greatest and most significant difference on a power of Congress was whether Congress could establish a national bank (the "First Bank of the United States"). Hamilton argued that because Article I, section 9 of the Constitution did not specifically prohibit Congress from creating a national bank, then Congress was empowered to do so under Article I, section 8, clause 18 (the "implied powers clause," "necessary and proper clause," or "elastic clause"). Jefferson, who took a more limited view of Federal power, argued that because Article I, section 8 did not specify Congress could create a national bank, then it could not. Jefferson believed that only specified powers (such as power to tax, to maintain an army, to punish counterfeiters, etc.) could be exercised by Congress.

What are the differences between hamilton and Jefferson?
Jefferson's Party - the Democratic-Republicans ** were headed by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison ** were in favor of a weak central government ** believed power should be centered in the legislative branch ** opposed most of Alexander Hamilton's economic policies (assumption, national bank) ** were in favor of the farmer as opposed to the merchant (particularly Jefferson) ** strict constructionists ** would have 3 presidents of their party - Madison, Jefferson, and Monroe Hamilton's Party - the Federalists ** were headed by Alexander Hamilton (primarily) ** were in favor of a strong central government ** believed power should be centered in the executive branch ** favored most of Alexander Hamilton's economic policies (how they got started) ** were in favor of the merchant as opposed to the farmer (particularly Hamilton) ** were loose constructionist ** would have 1 president of their party - Adams It should be noted that a lot of the party's beliefs came from their leaders, Jefferson and Hamilton.

If Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson got into a fight who would win and why?
The answer is a tossup, if the question is asking about verbal combat, not an actual fight. Thomas Jefferson hated and avoided conflict, and usually said very little, but he was always listening to what other people were saying. Jefferson was one of those people who would remember a remark and bring it up five years later to your discredit, which was exactly what he did with Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton was volatile, thrived on conflict and usually had much to say. In retaliation to any insult he would come back with a longwinded, sharp-tongued answer, but he would often come to regret it later. In the short term, Hamilton would win, but he would make several remarks he'd come to regret. In the long term, Jefferson would win, because he would remember the remarks, bring them up again later, and twist the context around as to make Hamilton sound worse than he actually was.
